Building off the AI Art topic Would you purchase a set of rules or scenario book that used AI to generate a summary of the History or other more generic sections? |

The buzzword "AI" is not going to affect my buying decisions one way or the other, regardless of whether or not they actually used an AI. |

There's been some interesting threads on BGG about using AI for artwork in terms of board game components. It certainly does speed up the design process, ,so I'm expecting even more games to come out in the near future. It also does hurt the artists and graphic designers who used to do this kind of work, so as you can imagine, opinions are all over the place on this one. |

AI summaries of history and military equipment are usually wrong in important ways. If I cared about the historical content, I would not buy it. |

The likes of Chat GPT can't yet be trusted to write decent, accurate, factual work. If the author doesn't want to write it, then don't include it (many don't). But if you do include it, it needs to be accurate and relevant. |

Based on what I've seen of AI so far, no. |

I never understood why some scenario or rules writers feel it necessary to explain the causes of the war. If the section mattered to me, I'd do my usual quick scan for clunkers and sourcing, not ask it to be certified "human content throughout." Plenty of real human beings produce "history" I won't give shelf space to. |

"Would you purchase a set of rules or scenario book that used AI to generate a summary of the History or other more generic sections?" I'd need to flip through the book to see what's in it before purchasing (I don't buy rules 'blind' anymore.) Worst case scenario is that it would be written in AI Barkerese… ;-) |

Probably not. Using AI to produce any part of the rules strikes me as being dispassionate about the project on the part of the author, and that is a turn off for me. |

In fact, AI can help in many ways. But if you look at it more broadly, in the future it will do a lot of work that people do now. I hope they will somehow solve the problem with unemployment. Now I found a source and read a lot about developers, engineers, it does not affect them yet. But AI is constantly evolving. A couple of years will pass and I think we will all be very surprised by its progress. |
